José Yaque: Origen

“Origen” by José Yaque is the first part of the exhibition series “The artwork that interests me” with the artists José Yaque, Elizabet Cerviño & Susana Pilar in synergy with works by Anish Kapoor.

The artist is part of the youngest generation of Cuban artists. His pictorial technique results in highly material and vibrant landscape compositions where materials are applied by hand and encrusted directly onto the canvas. Further transformation occurs when the artist wraps the paintings in a plastic film, removes it when the magna is dry resulting in an eroded looking painting.
